ARTIFICIAL DIGESTION?
Is that all you want? It is not
all that you can get. T & P Stomach
Tablets contain the best digestive
agents. These digest the food; but
if this was all they would not and
could not cure you. They have
combined with these digestive ier
inents tonics that act directly on the
organs of digestion, and laxatives
that regulate tlie liver and bowels,
putting the system in condition to
perform its own work. This means
that if you will half way take care
of vour stomach a cure is certain.
T & P STOMACH TABLETS are
for sale by all druggists. 30 cents

Where Was the Marshal?
For some time past the conduct
of drunken men on Saturdays in Ab
beville Las beeii growing worse and
last Saturday the profane language
was a disgrace to any civilized com
munity. It is high time that this
thing of using profane and obscene
language was stopped. Neither a
lady nor a decent man, can of late,
walk the streets of Abbeville on
Saturlr.y right withou tbeing shock?
ed by the profanity of white as well
as negro men, If there is any dif
ference the white men are worse
than the negroes. It is as much the
marshal’s duty lo make cases again
st these people for cursing on the
streets as it to make cases against
those who engage in lighting In
fact, his duty in the former is great
er— for there is absolutely no cause
for cursing while there may be some
cause lor fighting.
If the marshal will not try to stop
this disgraceful conduct, which cer
tain people are guilty of nearly every
Saturday night, some frequently
during the week, by making night
hideous with their yells, loud pro
fane swearing and discharging of fire
arms, by making cases against them,
let him resign or let the Council re
move him and elect a man who will,
The Chronicle is satisfied that the
Mayor will do his duty if the cases
are brought before him.
No man can work well with a
pui Liver or constipated bowels. A
few doses of l’Kicjti.v Asa Bitters
will quickly remove this condition
and make work a pleasure,
